Fire on india Street.

Yesterday afternoon at O'Clock Mr.
Olfene discovered blaze in the stable of
Mr.. Samuel Seeley on India street. The
alarm was given from box II, in response to
which steamers No. l, 2 and were soon on
the spot and four streams of water were
falling upon the building within five minutes
of the sounding of the alarm. Hook and
Ladder Company No. 2, was also on hand.
There was one horse in the stable at the
time, but Mr.. Olfene rescued the animal and,
with the aid of others, the contents of the
building, except the hay, including several
hacks, were removed. In thirty-five minutes
time the flames were extinguished. The
stable is surrounded by wooden buildings,
and if there had been wind it is possible
that the fire would have extended to some Of
them. The damage by the flames was chiefly
confined to the upper story of the building
where they started, and the loss by fire and
water will be some $500; insured. There
was nobody in the stable at the time the fire
was discovered, and it is not known how it
was started. 1t is stated that Portland Co.
No. 2 attached line of hose to the hydrant
corner of India and Newbury streets, and
when the order came to play away it was
discovered that the hydrant was broken.
The line ad to be transferred to another
hydrant, thus losing some time.

Racoxered His Diary.

When Joseph l.. Small went into the army
in 1864 his sister gave him little black
leather-coyered diary, in which he was in
the habit of recording the passing events
that came under his observation. In the fall
of that year he was taken prisoner by the
Confederates, and with several others of his
regiment was confined in the Salisbury, N.
c., prison. During the following winter his
exchange was effected. but before going
from the prison he sold his diary to Sergeant
John l.. Ham of his company for ''thres-
quarters of one-half of a loaf of Bread" as
the record reads. The survivors of the regi-
ment held reunion in Portland last week,
and Small and Ham met for the first time in
years. Greatly to the formers surprise and
delight Sergeant Ham drew tie little black
covered diary from his pocket and presented
it to his old comrade, after having had it in
his possession nearly % years. 1t is filled
with interesting data, and is much priced by
its first and present owner.

Locomotive OIL.

ut takes considerable oil to run them"
said the man in the oil house as he walked
along by the large iron tanks of OIL The
tanks were marked: valve oil, machine oil,
and burning oil.
whats the difference between valve oil
and machine oil ?" asked the reporter.
'All the difference in the world, sir; the
valve oil is of finer quality and lighter
color than the machine oil and is used to oil
the valves only. In a run from this city to
Gorham, distance of some 90 miles, and
return, our engineers use something over a
gallon of oil on their locomotives. The ma
chine oil is used on all parts of the machine
save the valves. Engines differ greatly in
the amount of oil required to run them.
The New York steamship Eleanora makes
her trip from Portland to New York and
return by using about nine gallons of oil, but
then she Is a very economical oil user

His Mistake.

A prominent Commercial street merchant,
prompted perhaps by curiosity, thought he
would test the scales Of the different bust
ness firms in his vicinity. He first stepped
upon his own scales, on which he weighs
the goods he sells, and found that his weight
was just 1881 pounds. Ona neighbours scales
he weighed 134 pounds, and ON another 134aa,
and in still another store the scales said
that his weight was 145 pounds. A friend to
whom he told the result of his experiment
remarked: SIT is good story, but think
you made mistake by weighing yourself on

sASE BALL.
New England League


N
Rain prevented the games yesterday, Doth
at Manchester and Lynn. The Portlands re-
turn home from their trip to Manchester
with exactly the same percentage as when
they left, but the trip was not without some
good result, as one of the two games will
now be played in this city. 1t would be a
good idea to have them both played here. If
possible, as both clubs have an open date
next Friday, and the Manchesters are to
play here the following day.

The Sam SmaIIIecfure

Announcements were made in the city
churches Sunday of Sam SmalPs lecture to
be given at City Hall tomorrow evening.
Many of the pastors strongly urged their
congregation to attend. There was good
advance sale of tickets at Stockbridge's on
Saturday. AS all the seats are reserved, it
is important that all who intend going to the
lecture should secure their seats at once and
thus avoid the crowd at the box Office on
Wednesday evening
